Topic: Nojima Talk (Will, FFX-3) (Read 3408 times)

On the 27th of December 2013, No stated that he would personally like to see a X-3 in an interview.

“If there’s enough demand, then we may possibly see new developments,” says Nojima on the subject of a possible third installment of the Final Fantasy X series. “I would personally like to see a sequel like X-3.”

As of the 8 January 2014, he was interviewed further, even going so far as saying he has thoughts on what should be in the sequel:

"Nojima recently mentioned that he’d like to see a sequel to the series with a possible Final Fantasy X-3. Famitsu asks him what kind of story would he write if a sequel were to be put into motion.

“It’s a secret,” says Nojima with a laugh."

On the audio drama:“I wrote it while thinking ‘this should be a game’,” says Nojima. “So it was a mix of thinking ‘ahh, all the spoilers’ and ‘but I would want to surprise them’ and things like that. For the record, there’s a plot from start to finish, and if there’s some way we can have it show up elsewhere… well, so I’ve said to Square Enix."

Then, Famitsu asks who was the character he had the most trouble writing for.

“It’d have to be Lulu,” says Nojima. “If she were just cute, it would’ve been simpler, but I had no samples in mind of how a pretty or beautiful lady like her would think or live. I don’t think that Watanabe (Daisuke) who worked with me had any ideas either.”

...dear god, she's a human being ffs :|

Well, Japan has a declining population and an alarming number of 30-year-old virgins for a reason. =P Nojima is married with a kid now, but it's possible he was still pretty awkward and inexperienced when writing FFX in the year 2000.

Not to harbour support against the game, but would you rather them not take the chance as to preserve what image you have of the series so far?

If they ruin it, its the last time i buy something from them, i know its scary to think that they are going to destroy this amazing game, but at the same time, we want to be positive. Its a hesitant issue, but if they start at the wrong direction, X-3 wouldnt exist for me. And what do you think of this Internal Medicine Doctor? :-D
